Rare and Unique in every sense of the term, the Alienation Bench from Thos. Moser offers traditional shaker styling married with contemporary design.

Originally designed with a public space in mind, like an art gallery, Tom Moser created the Alienation Bench to encourage strangers to relate in a non-verbal way. The Alienation Bench honors the idea that a little personal space opens the door to greater communication. Unique in shape, it is curvilinear in form and accommodates two people in comfort.

Originally designed in the 1970s, the first and only Alienation Bench made at that time was for our former landlord and landlady of our first showroom in Portland, Maine. It's worth noting that despite the name of this bench, they have proudly owned theirs for over 30 years, and their marriage remains strong.

In 2008, we reintroduced the Alienation Bench for a limited time as a special limited edition offering. Rare and unmistakably Moser, the Alienation Bench is sure to be a prized possession that, once seen, is not easily forgotten.
